We have had a busy first week of June! It’s hard to believe there are only 11 days left! We had a wonderful Field Day today. The students enjoyed participating in all of the games and activities and were great sports! They enjoyed watermelon and popsicles provided by the PTO and had a picnic lunch outside. We ended the day by blowing bubbles! Thank you so much to the many parents who helped make today such a huge success!
Earlier this week, we participated in a science engineering project where students were building structures to protect a popsicle from melting in the sun. They did a great job working together in groups to build different shade structures. Unfortunately the sun wasn’t out so we couldn’t test them, but we plan to this coming week. Hopefully the sun will cooperate!
The students worked more on our 3D map of Boston. They have been adding buildings and street signs and even swan boats and the gold dome on the State House! They have been taking so much ownership in it, especially since we went on our field trip to that same area on Wednesday. We will continue adding to it next week and I will be sure post pictures of the completed map!
A lot of the students’ artwork will start coming home next week, especially after our Cleaning Day on Wednesday. I saved the students’ self portraits from the beginning of the year and had them draw new self portraits more recently. I think a lot of you will be amazed at your child’s progress!
We will walk to Simonds Park on Friday, June 17th. We will be leaving the school around 9:30am. Everyone is welcome to meet us at the park. Remember that the children will be dismissed from the park (the buses will pick them up there), and those in the After School Program will be dropped off at the school by bus #2. More information about the trip will go home the day before we go. This field trip doesn’t cost anything! Please be sure to return the permission slip for pizza as soon as possible. For those of you who mark that you do not want your child to eat the pizza, please be sure to send him/her with a completely disposable bagged lunch that day.
We will have our Cleaning Day on Wednesday, June 8th. If you are scheduled to help out, we would love to have you from 9:30-10:20am.
Have a wonderful weekend!

PS...Don’t forget to return your child’s library book if you haven’t already. Also, if you have any class books, please be sure to return them as soon as possible too. Thanks!
